Rams Offering Two (Future) Firsts for Burns

Are you that certain that Burns doesnt make that one play per game that helps the Rams win football games? Burns has one play per game that stops a scoring drive for us. A pass rusher like Burns helps teams like the Rams win football games.

burns wouldnt have done poo to the 49ers on sunday

The rams have a ton of holes and trading 2 firsts for burns is the ultimate hail mary.  Nobody in that front office will likely be there in 2024 so this is them saying fug it

 

You have to take this deal

Who cares? Take the picks and laugh all the way to the bank. After we had years of Peppers and Rucker, Burns isnt even in the same convo.

I mean, I'm talking about a real rebuild.  One we were supposed to do when the Cam era ended and we hired Matt Rhule.    

but yeah, it's a QB league.  It's an offensive league.  That's where it should start IMO.  Draft a QB.  Build your teams around that.  And it takes awhile.   Because it also should revolve around who you have as QB.  The O, the coaches, the scheme, the talent....it should be revolve around that QB. 

Rhule's model was basically to build a team and then plug in a QB that didn't work out elsewhere.  I'm not a fan of continuing down that path.   You can claim the Rams just did it.  Bucs.  I think it leads to a shorter window of potential success. 

 

 So what team can you point to that has successfully pulled off a 'real rebuild' as you define it? Maybe the Bills, but that's the only team I can think of. I guess we disagree on what needs to change fundamentally as well as how far we are from actually competing. I don't know that we need a huge change fundamentally. This team is built to compete with consistent play from even a middling QB. We just haven't had that yet.

Its not going to help them, in fact its going to cripple them for years

Who knows they have an open window as long as they have McVay and a franchise QB. Plus they already have the hardware in the trophy case.

Man, as soon as the phone rang and someone from the Rams said 2 1's I would've hit him with the "Say no more, his flight is booked tonight and would you like any hats or swag for your kids"

Dude I'd fire him in a circus cannon to Inglewood.

Stafford is 35 and his play hasnt been good this year.  McVay flirted with retiring last year.  They are going to suck once everyone jumps ship

Dude you do it since its the rams, I just listed like 5 reasons why they will be one of the worst teams in the nfl in a couple of years.

 

They will not have a qb and they will not have any way to acquire one that isnt pure poo.  Their oline is in shambles as it stands now and their wunderkid coach is getting wooed by Amazon

 

do the fuging deal fitt

You are thinking in a silo.. The picks are in two years. So its based off of the Rams performance next season and the following. This year they are struggling with injuries and still competitive. Next year they have their core under contract and you are adding Burns... then you look at their division....

 

49ers
- Barely any draft picks in the upcoiming draft

- Trey Lance is the only QB on the roster

- only 34 players on their roster next year with 3 pciks in the draft and 15mil in cap space

 

Cardinals

- Most likley  a fired head coach

- QB eating a poo load of cap space and not performing on game day

- Their roster is built for an air raid offense and the new coach defintely wont be running that, so there will be roster turnover

 

Seahawks

- No QB on the roster

- OC will become a HC; so a new offense will be installed 

-plenty of draft capital and salary cap

 

You have to look at this holistically, and not scream with confidence that the Rams are going to suck. Their division's future is in flux.

Aaron Donald flirted with retirement as well. Imagine those guys leave and Cooper Kupp gets injured or something. All of a sudden we’re talking top 5 picks.

    • Jalen Coker? Played at Holy Cross? Is there another Jalen Coker? I'm not going to waste any more time on an UDFA, but the very first scouting report I went to confirms  what I saw on tape: Must prove he can get off the line against NFL size and strength. Monotonous route speed is unlikely to tilt pro coverage. Displays small gear-down when stemming the route. Needs to clean up the wasted motion getting into his breaks. It's not his biggest strength, it's literally his biggest weakness. 
    • Per NFL Website Jalen Coker Bio 2020-21: Tied for the team lead with 72 receiving yards (4 receptions, 18.0 per, TD). Played in 3 games with 2 starts in the team's spring season. School did not play in the fall due to COVID-19 concerns. 2021: Second-team All-Patriot League. Led the team with 51 receptions, 691 receiving yards (13.5 per, 4 TDs). Started all 13 games. 2022: First-team All-Patriot League. Led the team with 50 receptions, 912 receiving yards (18.2 per), 11 TDs. Played in 12 games with 11 starts.  2023: First-team Associated Press FCS All-American. First-team All-Patriot League. Finalist for the Walter Payton Award (top player in the FCS). Led the FCS with 15 receiving TDs (59 receptions for 1,040 yards, 17.6 per). Started all 11 games (2-3-1.5 rushing; 11-47-4.3 PR). Set school record with 31 career receiving TDs, 2,715 receiving yards Overview The evaluation for Coker boils down to balancing his pro-caliber size and ball skills against his level of competition and potential lack of NFL quickness and speed. His focus, ball-tracking and timing give him distinct advantages that other receivers lack, and his catch radius and hand strength helped him make mincemeat of Ivy League coverages near the goal line. Coker's deep speed appears to be average, so he will need to refine his route running to become better equipped to beat NFL defenders in space and open up workable windows for his quarterback. Coker is talented and productive, but the testing numbers will be huge for his draft slotting and chances in the league. Strengths Instinctive hand fighting in his release and at top of the route. Possesses robust ball skills across the board to win downfield. Fade monster with size, adjustments and sticky hands to dominate. Works back to the throw and is keenly aware of the sticks. Leverage and footwork for crisp cut-and-flatten on routes underneath. Weaknesses Must prove he can get off the line against NFL size and strength. Monotonous route speed is unlikely to tilt pro coverage. Displays small gear-down when stemming the route. Needs to clean up the wasted motion getting into his breaks. Below-average quickness with his run after catch.
